Ok, bad wording. Any time the name of anything changes it is technically "rewriting history".

 

I should have asked, is it really that big of a deal? Why exactly do we need to keep the racist landmark names? Just because they're old , because they're our "history"? If that's your answer it isn't a very compelling one. This won't be first, or last, time we change the name if something, and we seemed to come out alright

so a historical name of a town means all the people there are racist?

 

if any/many of those names actually do have racist origins... isn't it better to understand

how far understanding and anti-racial beliefs have come?

 

or, maybe it's better for liberals to be "victimized" ...to liberals.

So while we're at it, for you guys who are offended by this, what's there to be offended about? Is Aunt Jemima portrayed as an unfriendly character at any time? Is she not someone you would enjoy spending your breakfast time with?

 

And if it's the stereotype that outrages you think about this: how many rap artists, comedians, actors etc are just as stereotypical and use equally, if not more, colloquial speech?

Aunt Jemima pancakes. She must have been a great cook, but probably

didn't want all sorts of additives, artificial colors and preservatives added.

 

I do have a great pancake recipe now, from scratch. The heck with

the box mixes.

Ah ok so cause it's not quite as derogatory as ngr even though ngr was derived from negro. That's your reasoning.

the term you reference cleve, is not part of the subject. The slur is what

is derogatory.

 

Do you find an "n-word town" anywhere?
